Chapter 3 (Part 1) Corpse Devouring Corpse

Tang Shuxing's words further aroused Ji Kefeng's suspicion, leading him to believe that this young man was certainly hiding something significant from him. Earlier, he had wandered around Wanda Plaza for a few laps, not without reason. However, pressing him directly would yield no results, so he decided to hold off for the moment and allow him to relax his guard before proceeding.

"Old Chicken, I am not like you, coming from such a good family background, going to college for half a year before joining the army, then entering a military academy, rising smoothly, with all obstacles cleared away." Tang Shuxing did not mind the dirt of the trash can, leaning directly against it, feeling for a cigarette to light up, "I have a worthless life, my family doesn't care, and I have a pile of debts to pay off. I have to repay the debts; I can't do anything else to pay them off."

Yin Pangzi was sweating profusely: "Officer, I truly did not extort anyone, nor could I possibly sell video recordings. I only did this for safety, for safety!"

You come here! Wei Dagen brought Yin Pangzi into the private room, then casually closed the door behind him. He grabbed Yin Pangzi's arm and walked to the bedside, asking, "This room is quite interesting. I looked earlier, and there are only six rooms on this floor, which can be considered luxury suites. Each room's bed faces a wall with a television. Below the television wall, there is not only a TV but also a computer, and there is a camera on top of the computer. What does this mean?"

"Wow, so generous?" Tang Shuxing feigned surprise and said, "I don't gamble, because I won't touch anything that doesn't have a one hundred percent guarantee of winning. I would never touch drugs, not even if my life depended on it. The debts I owe are for special reasons, and they are none of your business. I'm here waiting for you because I want to advise you to go back and do your job as a police officer properly. This place is not suitable for you, especially this area; the impoverished streets and alleys are not meant for someone of your status."

Tang Shuxing walked to the center of the street, squatted down, and shouted at the back of Ji Kefeng: "Master Ji, don’t come looking for me anymore. I’m moving tomorrow, moving into the sewer to become a Ninja Turtle. You won’t be able to find me."

"Where is the scene?" Wei Dagen, panting heavily, ran upstairs and stood in front of the criminal police officer. The officer pointed inside, and as Wei Dagen peeked in, he quickly stepped back out, gasping for air and coughing repeatedly. The officer hurriedly patted his back, but Wei Dagen waved his hand to indicate that he was fine and turned to go back inside. He carefully avoided the bath towels and disposable clothing on the floor, standing at the foot of the bed, staring at the two corpses, and let out a long sigh.

Is the surveillance good? Wei Dagen raised his eyes to look at the cameras at both ends of the corridor, Is there surveillance in a place like this?

Ten minutes after Wei Dagen finished the call and while still waiting for the forensic team, the phone rang again. It was the on-duty detective from the criminal police team: "Team Leader Wei, there's been another incident. At a bathhouse called Zhenhuan on the outskirts of the old city, two people have died at once, one male and one female. The patrol officers just arrived and reported that the scene is quite horrific. From what I gather, it seems related to the previous case."

Tang Shuxing leaned in, squinting his eyes and slowly whispered, "The armed police are beating people! The armed police are beating people! They have killed someone! Help! In broad daylight! Someone come!"

"Stand still and don't move." Wei Dagen did not sit down; he merely leaned forward to click the mouse, starting the video. He glanced at the video's duration, which was only 36 minutes. Once the video began playing, there was surprisingly sound. Wei Dagen turned back and smiled at Yin Pangzi, saying, "Boss, you have such a hobby?"

I will go with Tang Shuxing, and you will go with Ji Kefeng. Your lack of experience makes it easy for Tang Shuxing to outsmart you. Before departing, Wei Dagen instructed Lei Yu in this manner. Although Lei Yu felt that Captain Wei was somewhat underestimating him, an order is an order.

"It's nothing much!" Yin Pangzi pretended to look very puzzled, "It's just a normal decoration."

The detective nodded and turned to glance at the horrific scene in the room. The two deceased had been engaged in an act before their demise; the male was lying on top of the female, but half of his body was enveloped by the woman's opened abdomen. The female corpse's abdomen resembled a massive mouth, wide open, firmly biting down on the male corpse, with most of his body ensnared within. Furthermore, their lower bodies appeared quite bizarre, completely fused together, with an unknown black liquid oozing out. There was no blood around; not a single drop could be seen.

Ji Kefeng pushed Tang Shuxing aside and pointed at him, saying: "How did you end up looking like this? Huh? When we were kids, among our group of childhood friends, you were the smartest, the most honest, and the most obedient. Everyone praised you. Now look at yourself, you look like a rogue, completely lacking any decency!"

"Alright, I am leaving," Ji Kefeng said, turning his back and walking away.

Wei Dagen did not pursue Tang Shuxing; instead, he went to the place where he had previously scattered the white powder. He dipped his finger into the remaining white powder and smelled it, finding no unusual odor. He had no choice but to call the forensic department to request that they work overtime to analyze the composition of that substance.

The criminal police summoned the boss over, who quickly handed a cigarette to Wei Dagen as he stood before him. Wei Dagen shook his head and simply asked, "Is the surveillance footage good or bad?"

Wei Dagen no longer spoke, merely watching the video. In the video, the door opened, and a young attendant led the male deceased, Yang Yong, inside. Yang Yong was dressed in a disposable bathing suit and was carrying a personal leather bag. He then placed the bag on the bedside and leaned against the headboard to smoke. Soon after, the young attendant entered again, setting down tea and snacks on a tray without saying anything, before turning to leave.

Ji Kefeng could no longer argue and had no choice but to nod, taking his belongings and leaving the police station. After stepping outside, he stood on the empty street, filled with anger that had no outlet, and could only kick the nearby trash can a few times.

Shan Shan is the top performer here, no, she is the best technician we have! The boss realized he almost let something slip. Even though the police are well aware that the technician is actually a lady of the night, they cannot directly state it. Her real name is Liu Feng, and she is not from the local area; her home is quite far away, in the countryside. She has been working here for several years, is a nice person, and has never had any conflicts with customers, nor does she harbor any ill will. The deceased customer was unknown to me; he was not a regular.

In the distance, Wei Dagen could not clearly see what Tang Shuxing was doing, and the surveillance cameras could not capture that position. It seems that Tang Shuxing anticipated this, which is why he came here. But what is he doing? Is that white package containing drugs? It cannot be; that package would be worth at least several hundred thousand in the market. Even if high-purity drugs were mixed with something like glucose, it would still be worth several tens of thousands. Tang Shuxing would not spend money so extravagantly.

The police officer shook his head and said: "If the people do not report, the authorities will not investigate. To catch a thief, there must be evidence of the crime. Those people sit there every day; if you haven't witnessed it with your own eyes, how can you prove that others are committing crimes?"

In the police station, Ji Kefeng managed to explain himself, and then he took out his identification, falsely claiming that he was on a mission. The police officers, somewhat skeptical, called the criminal investigation team. Wei Dagen answered the call and, upon hearing the situation, immediately understood that Ji Kefeng had been tricked by Tang Shuxing. Suppressing a laugh, he assisted Ji Kefeng by stating that he was a non-local armed police officer on a mission. Only then did the police officers release him, apologizing for having responded to a report made by someone earlier.

Wei Dagen inquired about the detailed address, then rushed outside, simultaneously instructing the security personnel to wait for the police forensic team to arrive and not to approach the scene lightly. Wei Dagen's first reaction upon rushing out was that the call he received must be related to the call that Tang Shuxing had received.

Yin Pangzi said in a low voice: "Officer, officer, I am a businessman, and I actually have no ill intentions. It's just that in the past, there was a severe argument between a customer and a technician over certain matters, and everyone believed they were right, so I simply went ahead and..."

In the distance, a gray Jetta was parked. Shortly after arriving, Wei Dagen and Lei Yu, who witnessed the argument between Ji Kefeng and Tang Shuxing, turned the car around and left. At the street corner, Lei Yu dropped off Wei Dagen and then drove off to follow Ji Kefeng, while Wei Dagen leisurely walked in the direction Tang Shuxing had departed.

In the hall outside the bathhouse, many men and women were seated. Upon realizing that a criminal case was involved and that they were not there for illicit activities, many breathed a sigh of relief, immediately concocting lies in their minds while simultaneously calculating how to leave this place of trouble as quickly as possible. The owner of the bathhouse also rushed over that night, cooperating with the police to investigate the circumstances of the incident, sweating profusely. Everyone here knew that whenever a case occurred, the establishment would be closed for at least three months for rectification.

Damn it! Ji Kefeng cursed, raising his hand to check the time. He decided to find a budget hotel to stay in first. After arriving in Zhenyang City, he hadn't even found a place to settle down, leaving his luggage at the station before heading straight to the Tang family of the Shuxing clan. To his surprise, not only did he find nothing useful, but he also almost got caught as a client.

Yin Pangzi wiped his sweat and shook his head, saying: "I told you, it is truly for safety, for safety!"

"Stay alert!" Ji Kefeng said with a puzzled expression, "Once someone goes in, they can be caught without fail."

Not long after, a long-haired woman dressed in sheer clothing, with her undergarments clearly visible, entered through the door. After opening the door, she slightly bowed to Yang Yong and said: "Good day, sir. Number 68, Shanshan, is at your service"

How many people are there in our police station? The officer shook his head, saying, "There are dozens of hair salons on the street alone; how can you keep an eye on anyone? We have all been dispatched to crack down on prostitution. What about the other cases? Only during the annual summer crackdown does the higher-ups allocate more police force to sweep through; at other times, there is no way to manage it."

Tang Shuxing crawled along the pipe above the passageway, while Wei Dagen, following behind, was quite astonished. Observing Tang Shuxing's agility, he found it hard to associate him with the previous ruffian. However, due to his advanced age, he could not crawl like him. He had no choice but to quietly sneak into the parking lot, hand over his identification to the security guard, and signal them not to come out and not to disturb others.

Is that so? Wei Dagen grinned and said, "In that case, I won't trouble you any further. I'll dig into the wall to find the line and see where it extends to." After Wei Dagen finished speaking, he made a move to leave, but Yin Panzai quickly stepped forward to stop him

Wei Dagen followed Tang Shuxing to the crime scene, which was still cordoned off by police tape. The car remained parked there, its windows closed, and everything else was unchanged. Tang Shuxing stood there, hands in his pockets, pondering something while touching his upper lip. After a long while, he turned to look around, took out a packet of white substance from the pocket of his hoodie, scattered it outside the left rear door of the car, and then crouched down to examine it closely.

When Ji Kefeng came out of the police station, it was already 3:00 AM

Three months! What a loss! The owner of the bathhouse is almost going crazy, but when he was led by the police to the door of the so-called VIP room on the third floor, he took a look inside and was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, unable to react for a long time. It wasn't until the police helped him up that he immediately turned his back, first shaking his head and then nodding, and after a long while, he finally stammered, "I can't tell who it is."

Tang Shuxing! Damn it! Ji Kefeng rushed up and grabbed Tang Shuxing, pretending to be ready to fight.

Ji Kefeng turned his back to Tang Shuxing and raised his middle finger.

"Have you even installed surveillance in the room? Are you planning to blackmail someone or record it to sell online?" Wei Dagen leaned closer to Yin Panzai, "Do you realize what you are doing?"

When Tang Shuxing returned to the underground parking lot of Wanda Plaza, it was already 4:00 AM. At this hour, even the night security guards were sound asleep, with only the guard at the entrance watching a small television and sipping strong tea, occasionally glancing outside.

Uh... the boss, nicknamed Yin Pangzi, hesitated for a moment before saying, "Alright"

After a long time, Tang Shuxing cautiously put away the pile of items. Just as he turned to leave, he felt his phone vibrate. He quickly took out the phone, held it to his ear, and softly said "Hello." His expression changed immediately, and he ran outside without any hesitation, no longer being stealthy, and dashed straight past the security room, completely disregarding the cameras that might capture him.

"Bring up the video, let me take a look." Wei Dagen no longer wasted words; as long as Yin Panzai provided the materials, it would facilitate the case handling.

After Ji Kefeng left, Tang Shuxing got up, finished his cigarette in a few puffs, looked around, then adjusted the hood of his sweatshirt and ran into a nearby alley. After Tang Shuxing departed, a young man dressed similarly to him emerged from the police station, bowing and shaking hands to thank the officer who had escorted him to the door. He then stood at the entrance, glanced around, and walked in the direction Ji Kefeng had taken.

Two deceased individuals, the female is a technician here, badge number 68, named Shanshan? The detective knew that was a pseudonym. The male deceased is identified as Yang Yong on his ID. Do you have any impression of him

You all clearly know that it is an obscene place, yet you do not take action to apprehend it?" Ji Kefeng expressed his dissatisfaction as he left

"Are you in debt? Are you gambling or using drugs?" Ji Kefeng said seriously, "If you are in trouble, why didn't you say so earlier? I can help you."

Yin Pangzi nodded repeatedly, then left. After about ten minutes, he returned with a portable hard drive wrapped in his clothing. He connected the hard drive to the computer in the private room and began searching through it. After a long while, he finally found the footage from the room within the last few hours. He immediately stood up, gestured for Wei Dagen to sit down, and said: "Officer, I assure you this is first-hand video; I haven't shown it to anyone else, and I haven't even watched it myself"

Yo, isn't that Chicken Master? Isn't Chicken Master a member of the armed police? The armed police curse and vandalize public property. Tang Shuxing stepped out from behind a nearby car, standing in front of the trash can and looking down carefully, "The trash can is public property, right? It costs quite a bit to buy one, and repairing it is also troublesome. How about I accompany you to the police station to turn yourself in?"
